      If only that worked for me. I’ve been in a depressing place for 5 years, and I both opened up to my homies and brother… Crickets.

      My wife keeps me sane and grounded.

        I feel that, man. I’ve tried being open with friends and it just didn’t seem like it mattered much to them. I don’t have many close friends, almost none to be honest. But I have my wife and no matter what I always know she’s there for me, unfailingly.

      I will just say, having gone through a real rough year, it’s not always black and white. I be vulnerable with the boys and ask for help, but I need time to process first, and to do it in the way I want and the time I want.

      In the meantime, I am often sending memes for that small comfort of friendship while I process.
